  • I’ve certainly found it frustrating that these alternate search engines don’t always cater for geographic location, so if I’m looking for a product I get results that are US-centric versus retailers based near me. Google does do a good job of knowing what’s relevant to you based on your history and location. I’ve tried DuckDuckGo and Brave so far and both have routinely ended in my needing to jump to google on occasion.

    Maybe that ends up being the solution, only use Google when you can’t find it elsewhere so at least they’re only getting 10% of your search history…



  • Plex has a client app on just about every single media player out there and they have a simple single sign on solution.

    So I personally run both Plex and Jellyfin, Jellyfin for myself as I’m willing to put up with some of the hoops I have to jump through and Plex for everyone else who just gets an invite email, creates an account and suddenly has access to all of my content on every single device they own.

    Once jellyfin has reliable apps on every App Store and a simple way of getting non-tech savvy users onboarded I’ll move everyone over to jellyfin. Until then, it’s just for me.
